Summary
When Harry Jones discovers that former friend Zac Kravitz's life is in danger, a debt of honour sends him on a perilous rescue mission to Ta'argistan, a mountainous and landlocked former Soviet republic bordering Russia, China and Afghanistan. Muscling his way onto a delegation of MPs who happen to be paying the state a visit, Harry finds an unlikely ally in the stubbornly independent Martha and together they devise a plan to break Zac out of the ancient high-walled prison in the capital, Ashkek. But when, in the depths of winter, the attempt backfires and Harry finds himself taking Zac's place, he realises that he has been lured, unawares, into a terrifying web of international conspiracy.

The language was a bit raunchy for my taste as well as the graphic torture scenes. The narrator, however, was absolutely fabulous! One of THE BEST with all the accents and various characters. I would listen to anything he narrates!

I bit slow to start… struggled to follow it Picked up as I progressed. Once it came to life, The Reluctant Hero was enjoyable.

Great characters. Engaging twists. Narrator brought it nicely to life.

Good. Read like a Liam Neeson movie.

Picked this up as a free audio book offer. It held my interest and I did eventually finish it. If you like twisty spy or military novels you may enjoy.

Very disappointing and we'll below what Michael Dobbs is capable of. An implausible plot combined with poorly defined characters.

Profile Avatar Jon De Paul D. Aug 2025

Flat characters. The female characters are one dimensional at best. The diaglogue is cringe at best and predictable at best.

Profile Avatar Peter A. Jun 2025

Very intriguing plot and many unexpected twists.
